Cars registered after that date have been split into 13 bands from May 2009 based on emissions: cars in band A are greener (and cheaper to tax) than tax band M, therefore the lower the emissions, the cheaper the car tax bracket. You'll find your car’s co2 emission data on your DLVA v5c Certificate - (see below).

Cars registered in the UK on or after March 1st 2001 are taxed according to their emissions; for cars registered before that date there's one road tax cost for engines up to 1549cc and another group for those over 1550cc.

Cars registered before March 2001 aren't subject to the car tax prices and bands quoted here; this is because there is no accurate emissions data available for these cars. Instead, road tax for cars is priced based on engine size (from April 2013):

Up to 1549 cc: £140

1550 cc +: £225
